金鱼etv2基因的克隆及在雌核发育单倍体和自交二倍体胚胎中的差异表达

为研究鱼类雌核发育单倍体循环系统发育异常的原因,从金鱼(Carassius auratus)中克隆了血管发生主调控基因etv2(Ets variant 2)的全长cDNA序列,并比较分析了该基因在雌核发育单倍体和自交二倍体中的表达。金鱼etv2 cDNA全长1531 bp,其开放阅读框为1116 bp,编码371个氨基酸。序列对比分析表明,金鱼ETV2蛋白的C端含有ETS(E26 transformation-specific)转录因子家族所共有的ETS DNA结合结构域,该结构域氨基酸序列与其他脊椎动物ETV2的同源性超过60%。RT-PCR和荧光实时定量PCR分析结果表明, etv2在自交二倍体金鱼成体的肝脏、心脏、肌肉、肾脏、精巢、脑和脾脏等多种器官组织中表达,但在卵巢和成熟卵子中不表达;在金鱼胚胎发育过程中, etv2从尾芽期开始表达,在体节形成后, etv2表达水平随胚胎发育而升高,在20体节期达到峰值,随后其表达水平降低。整胚原位杂交显示etv2特异性表达于自交二倍体金鱼胚胎的侧板中胚层、成血管细胞以及血管内皮细胞。在14体节期和20体节期,雌核发育单倍体胚胎中etv2在躯...

Survival capacity of haploid-diploid goldfish chimeras

In teleosts, haploidy has been considered to be inviable due to the expression of abnormalities during embryogenesis, but the recent report of live haploid-diploid mosaic fish suggests the probable improvement of survival capacity by adding diploid cells or tissues to haploid embryos. In order to examine such possibilities, two types of haploid-diploid goldfish chimeric embryos were produced by transplantation of blastoderm between the normally fertilized diploid and the artificially induced gynogenetic haploid: the haploid-base chimera with the diploid upper half on the haploid lower half blastoderm and the diploid-base chimera with the haploid upper half on the diploid lower half blastoderm. Fluorescent detection of FITC-labeled cells, subsequent histochemical detection of biotin-labeled haploid cells and flow-cytometrical detection of both haploid and diploid cells proved successful induction of the haploid-diploid chimera. Both types of chimeric embryos demonstrated much better survival capacity than pure haploid individuals, but all the haploid-base chimeras died before 10 days after fertilization due to the expression of edema, whereas several diploid-base chimeras survived until 16 months after fertilization when the experiment was ended. This concluded diploid-base chimeras became viable by adding diploid cells to haploid embryos. However, the proportion of transplanted haploid cells was reduced and the distribution of these cells was limited to certain organs because survivors exhibited haploid cells only in brain, eye and/or skin. These results suggest possible elimination of haploid cells from the organs originated from ectoderm.     

四类不同倍性鲫鱼在胚胎发育期间同工酶基因表达的比较分析

Isozyme zymograms of esterase (EST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were analysed by polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis at different developmental stages of embryogenesis in 4 types of various ploidy crucian carp embryos, including haploids, diploids, natural triploids, and multiple tetraploids, and 2 types of haploid and diploid common carp embryos. Haploid embryos of crucian carp (Carassius auratus) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were produced by treating eggs with UV-irradiated milt from blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala). Natural triploid embryos were obtained from the eggs of gynogenetic silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) inseminated with milt from red common carp. Multiple tetraploid embryos were also produced by gynogenesis from eggs of the newly discovered multiple tetraploid females inseminated with milt from red common carp. Gradient gel electrophoresis indicated that the band types and staining intensity of 4 isozymes expressed in haploid embryos of crucian carp and red common carp were similar to that in the correlative diploid embryos. In natural triploid silver crucian carp embryos, the zymograms of MDH and SOD isozymes were identical with that of diploid crucian carp embryos, but the EST and LDH isozymes manifested more new enzyme bands in comparison with diploid embryos. The corresponding expressed products of some bands in the triploid embryos, such as EST5 and EST6, could be observed also in red common carp embryos, which provided evidence for hybrid origin about the gynogenetic fish. The multiple tetraploids incorporated one foreign genome of red common carp, therefore, the effects of genes from the foreign genome could be observed in the multiple tetraploid embryos. Gene expression of the isozymes in the tetraploid embryos was somewhat similar to that in hybrids. Owing to interaction of triploid silver crucian carp genomes and common carp haploid genome, some isozyme bands, such as EST5 and EST6, changed in quantity, and some bands increased, such as s-SOD1, s-SOD2, s-SOD3 and s-SOD4 in the tetraploid embryos. Moreover, the heterogeneity was revealed among embryos developed from gynogenetic eggs of 3 different multiple tetraploid individuals.     

四类不同倍性鲫鱼在胚胎发育期间同工酶基因表达的比较分析

用聚丙烯酰胺梯度凝胶电泳比较分析了单倍体、二倍体、三倍体和复合四倍体4类不同倍性鲫鱼以及单倍体和二倍体鲤鱼在胚胎发育时期4种同工酶(EST,LDH,MDH,SOD)酶谱。结果表明,单倍体鲫鱼和单倍体鲤鱼胚胎与各自的二倍体胚胎相比,同工酶酶谱看不出差异;天然三倍体银鲫胚胎的MDH和SOD同工酶酶谱与二倍体鲫相似,但EST和LDH同工酶比二倍体增多了酶带,有的酶带如EST5和EST6还可在鲤鱼胚胎中找到相应的表达产物,提供了天然雌核发育三倍体银鲫杂交起源的证据;复合四倍体由于含有鲤鱼的一个外来基因组,其胚胎的基因表达有些与杂种类似,在所分析的4种同工酶酶谱中,都可观察到来自鲤鱼基因的影响。此外,在由源于不同复合四倍体个体的卵子发育形成的胚胎间,还观察到同工酶基因表达的异质性。     

Diploid-dependent regulation of gene expression: a genetic cause of abnormal development in fish haploid embryos

A diploid-dependent regulatory mechanism of gene expression for spatial patterning of the eye in vertebrates has been determined by analyzing the phenotypes of haploid goldfish embryos. There are two gene loci in charge of eye spatial patterning during embryonic morphogenesis. The expressional probability for each copy of the two genes in a set of chromosomes is 50%. A pair of genes in two sets of homologous or heterologous chromosomes is 100% and essential for normal gene expression. The haploid condition itself would result in the obstruction of gene expression and abnormal development because the diploid-dependent regulatory apparatus will regulate gene expression in a haploid embryo according to the same rule as in the diploid embryo.     

Protein synthesis in microsurgically produced androgenetic and gynogenetic mouse embryos

Summary In order to compare paternal and maternal gene activity at the protein synthesis level during early development, androgenetic and gynogenetic mouse embryos were experimentally produced by microsurgically removing either the female or the male pronucleus from fertilized mouse eggs. The resulting haploid eggs were diploidized in a medium containing cytochalasin B and then cultured under normal conditions to the blastocyst stage. Protein synthesis was analyzed at different stages of preimplantation development using 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both types of uniparental embryos synthesized a similar set of proteins independent of whether the paternal or the maternal genome was present. The isodiploid embryos expressed a protein pattern that corresponded remarkably to normal embryos at the subsequent cleavage stage. This temporal change is probably due to the fact that the operated haploid eggs were kept overnight in cytochalasin B in order to allow chromosomal replication to occur without cell division, and the resulting eggs therefore corresponded to normal 2-cell embryos with respect to karyokinesis but differed as far as cytokinesis was concerned. Several 2-cell specific proteins appeared in these isodiploid eggs and, similarly, following their first cleavage some 4-cell specific proteins were detected in 2-cell androgenetic and gynogenetic embryos. The discordance between nuclear and cellular division, which was retained through the 4-cell stage, however disappeared during subsequent cleavage divisions. At the blastocyst stage, both kinds of uniparental embryos showed a similar protein pattern compared to normal embryos. Our data suggest that some stage-specific proteins are synthesized during preimplantation development and correspond to nuclear rather than cellular divisions.Some of these results were presented at the 13th Annual Meeting of the Union of Swiss Societies of Experimental Biology in Lausanne, March 1981 (Petzoldt et al. 1981)     

Simultaneous formation of haploid, diploid and triploid eggs in diploid–triploid mosaic loaches

In the loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus , very few diploid–triploid mosaic individuals, which are generated by accidental incorporation of the sperm nucleus into diploid eggs produced by clonal diploid loach, occur in nature. Ploidy examination of gynogenetic progeny induced by activation with ultraviolet-irradiated goldfish sperm indicated that diploid–triploid mosaic females laid haploid, diploid and triploid eggs, simultaneously. In addition, triploid eggs exhibited larger egg sizes. Microsatellite genotyping of diploid–triploid mosaics revealed that triploid genotypes of mosaic mothers possessed two alleles specific to the clonal diploid and one allele from normal diploid male. Diploid eggs from a mosaic mother had genotypes absolutely identical to the diploid clone. Most genotypes of triploid eggs were identical to the mosaic mother, and one of the three alleles of the mosaic mother was transmitted to haploid eggs. These results suggested that diploid germ cells, which had a clonal genome, were differentiated into clonal diploid eggs, and triploid and haploid eggs were produced from triploid germ cells in the same ovary of mosaic individuals.     

2-D DIGE analysis of the budding yeast pH 6-11 proteome in meiosis

Meiosis is the cell division that generates haploid gametes from diploid precursors. To provide insight into the functional proteome of budding yeast during meiosis, a 2-D DIGE kinetic approach was used to study proteins in the pH 6-11 range. Nearly 600 protein spots were visualised and 79 spots exhibited statistically significant changes in abundance as cells progressed through meiosis. Expression changes of up to 41-fold were detected and protein sequence information was obtained for 48 spots. Single protein identifications were obtained for 21 spots including different gel mobility forms of 5 proteins. A large number of post-translational events are suggested for these proteins, including processing, modification and import. The data are incorporated into an online 2-DE map of meiotic proteins in budding yeast, which extends our initial DIGE investigation of proteins in the pH 4-7 range. Together, the analyses provide peptide sequence data for 84 protein spots, including 50 single-protein identifications and gel mobility isoforms of 8 proteins. The largest classes of identified proteins include carbon metabolism, protein catabolism, protein folding, protein synthesis and the oxidative stress response. A number of the corresponding genes are required for yeast meiosis and recent studies have identified similar classes of proteins expressed during mammalian meiosis. This proteomic investigation and the resulting protein reference map make an important contribution towards a more detailed molecular view of yeast meiosis.     

Induced Gynogenesis in Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) Using Irradiated Sperm of Allotetraploid Hybrids

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) eggs were activated by UV-irradiated diploid sperm of allotetraploid hybrids derived from red crucian carp (♀)?×?common carp (♂) and then duplicated by cold shock in 4-6°C water for 10-12 min. Different cold shock initiation times resulted in two types of diploid gynogenetic grass carp: meiotic gynogenetic (meiG) and mitotic gynogenetic (mitG). Over a 5-year period, a total of 17,170 meiG and 1,080 mitG fry were produced and 6,862 meiG and 372 mitG grass carp survived. The gynogenetic fish were confirmed by morphological characteristics, chromosome examination, and microsatellite DNA analysis. The morphological traits of the gynogenetic grass carp were similar to those of wild diploid grass carp. Normal gynogenetic fish were identified as diploid with 48 chromosomes by chromosomal metaphases examination, while nonviable abnormal embryos were detected as haploid with 24 chromosomes. Microsatellite DNA analysis indicated that after one generation of gynogenesis, the genetic purity of meiG and mitG grass carp was significantly increased over that of wild grass carp. In addition, both meiG and mitG grass carp groups were 100% female, and 88% of these showed normal ovary development. Thus, the sex determination mechanism in female grass carp was homogamety. The ability to establish pure all-female groups of meiG and mitG grass carp should be a valuable contribution to both fish genetics and grass carp breeding.     

Microelectrophoretic analysis of changes in protein expression patterns in mouse oocytes and preimplantation embryos.

One- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide microslab gel electrophoresis followed by silver staining was devised to visualize picogram to nanogram levels of proteins and was applied to the analysis of 1-20 mouse oocytes and embryos (approximately 16.5-330 ng of protein) during preimplantation development. Compared with values in embryos, more bands in the higher molecular weight range were found only for unfertilized oocytes in one-dimensional microelectrophoresis. A marked decrease in the number of protein spots occurred after fertilization in two-dimensional microelectrophoresis. Both findings indicate a decrease in maternal proteins caused by fertilization. Silver-staining densities were almost invariable for 8 major spots, but increased, decreased, or varied for 32 minor spots in developing embryos from the 1-cell to the morula stage, signifying spot-specific changes in the expression of zygotic proteins during development. The protein patterns in cumulus cells and blastocysts were different from those in oocytes and embryos. Even in a single 1-cell embryo, major spots and some minor spots were detectable by our two-dimensional microelectrophoretic technique, but many more minor spots were visualized in five 1-cell embryos, exemplifying the limit of our microelectrophoretic technique. As a preliminary result, a two-dimensional immunoblot pattern is shown for glucose transporter 1 expressed in morulae.     

Microsatellite analysis of different ploidy offspring of artificial gynogenesis in Cyprinus carpio

Gynogenesis was induced by using UV-irradiated spermatozoa of blunt snout bream Megalobrama amblycephala to activate eggs of common carp Cyprinus carpio. The maternal genome was then duplicated by cold shock in 0 to 4° C cold water to retain the second polar body. Two kinds of fry, normal fry and abnormal tortuous fry, were hatched. Their DNA content was measured by flow cytometry. The normal fry were identified as diploid, representing the successful gynogenesis in C. carpio whereas the abnormal tortuous fry were haploid. Ten microsatellite loci were used to study the genetic diversity among C. carpio, diploid gynogenetic C. carpio and unduplicated haploid tortuous fry. The results indicated that the genetic homozygosity of gynogenetic C. carpio was significantly higher than that of C. carpio. The genetic homozygosity of the haploid C. carpio was intermediate between that of gynogenetic C. carpio and C. carpio. It might be easier for the allogenetic DNA fragments to be integrated into the haploid genome than into diploid gynogenetic genome.     

Haploidy influences Bak and Bcl-xL mRNA expression and increases incidence of apoptosis in porcine embryos

The objective of this study was to determine developmental pattern, total cell number, apoptosis and apoptosis-related gene expression in haploid and diploid embryos following parthenogenetic activation. In vitro-matured porcine oocytes were activated by electrical pulses and cultured in the absence or presence of cytochalasin B for 3 h. Zygotes with two polar bodies (haploid) and one polar body (diploid) were carefully selected and were further cultured in NCSU 23 medium containing 0.4% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 7 days. The percentage of development to blastocyst stage was higher (p < 0.01) in the diploid than in the haploid parthenotes. In haploid blastocysts, average total cell number was significantly reduced (p < 0.05) and apoptosis was increased at day 7. The relative abundance of Bcl-xL and Bak mRNA in the diploid blastocysts was similar to that of in vivo-fertilized embryos. However, Bcl-xL was significantly decreased, and Bak mRNA was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in haploid parthenotes compared with the diploid parthenotes. These results suggest that the haploid state affects apoptosis-related gene expression which results in increased apoptosis and decreased developmental competence of haploid parthenotes.     

Induced gynogenesis in the rainbow trout: Sex and survival of progenies production of all-triploid populations

Summary Gynogenesis could be an efficient way for producing inbred lines in commercial fish species. Gamma-irradiation of sperm gives haploid embryos that all die without hatching; in the present study, we optimized heat treatment of the eggs, in order to produce high rates of diploid gynogenetics. When the eggs are heated to 26 °C for 20 min after 25 min of development, 80% of the embryos hatch, and all the resulting fry are diploid; nevertheless, high mortalities are recorded until feeding start. The monosex female constitution of gynogenetic offspring confirms the female homogamety in the rainbow trout.When the eggs are treated with the same heat shock 25 min after a fertilization with functional sperm, alltriploid populations are obtained; their survival until feeding start is not different from the control.     

Comparative proteome analysis of changes in the 26S proteasome during oocyte maturation in goldfish

Proteasomes are large, multi-subunit particles that act as the proteolytic machinery for most of the regulated intracellular protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. An alteration of proteasome function may be important for the regulation of the meiotic cell cycle. To study the change at the subunit level of the 26S proteasome during meiotic maturation, we purified 26S proteasomes from immature and mature oocytes of goldfish. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to separate proteins. For differential analysis, whole spots of the 26S proteasome from goldfish oocytes were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and database analysis. Four spots that were different (only detected in mature oocyte 265 proteasomes and not in immature ones) and four protein spots that were up- or down-regulated were identified unambiguously. The mature-specific spots were not 26S proteasome components but rather their interacting proteins, and were identified as chaperonin-containing TCP-1 subunits and myosin light chain. Minor spots of three subunits of the 20S core particle and one of the 19S regulatory particle showed meiotic cell cycle-dependent changes. These results demonstrate that modifications of proteasomal subunits and cell cycle phase-dependent interactions of proteins with proteasomes occur during oocyte maturation in goldfish.     

Analysis of the budding yeast pH 4–7 proteome in meiosis

Meiosis, the developmental programme generating haploid gametes from diploid precursors, requires two cell divisions and many innovations. In budding yeast, a large number of genes are expressed exclusively during meiosis while others are repressed compared to vegetative growth. Microarray analysis has shown that gene expression during meiosis is highly regulated, and has been used to classify yeast genes according to meiotic temporal expression pattern. In this study, we have begun to investigate the kinetics of meiotic protein expression using a proteomics approach. 2‐D DIGE was used to characterise the temporal protein expression patterns of the budding yeast pH 4–7 proteome in meiosis. More than 1400 meiotic protein spots were visualised and at least 63 spots were temporally regulated during meiosis in a statistically significant manner. Gel spots with significant expression changes were excised and 26 unique proteins were identified using LC‐MS/MS. The identified proteins could be classified into functional categories and the genes encoding a number of these were previously shown to be involved in yeast sporulation and meiosis. This data set was used to assemble the first differential 2‐D PAGE map of budding yeast meiosis, which can be accessed through a web server. This work represents one of the first quantitative proteomic analyses of meiosis in yeast and will provide a valuable resource for future investigations.     

Proteomic profiles of embryonic development in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis

We report here proteomics-based protein profiles of three embryonic stages of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed 416, 539, and 695 protein spots in the unfertilized eggs, 16 cell-stage embryos, and tadpole larvae, respectively. Comparative and quantitative analyses of the spot patterns identified proteins showing an increase or decrease in amount during embryonic development. Protein identification by MALDI-TOF/MS indicated not only the abundance and importance of metabolic enzymes and translation elongation factors but also the functional importance of actin-binding proteins and molecular chaperones during ascidian development. Global changes in spots for vitellogenin-like protein suggested post-translational modification or proteolytic digestion of this protein during embryogenesis. Comparison between mRNA and protein levels among unfertilized eggs, 16 cell-stage embryos and tadpole larvae indicated nonparallel expression patterns of genes and proteins. Ascidians provide an excellent system for studying gene expression and cell differentiation during development, and the present study should shed light on the associated molecular mechanism at the protein level.
